Florence Lena Eighteen

[Merry]

I would check the Whittakers in 1939 and Locks in 1911 and then in 1939, but I have to go out now

I haven't got an FMP sub so not got very far with looking for them (the Whittakers) in 1939, plus we don't know Florence Lena's exact birth date.

The Locks in 1911, and Florence is 21 so looks to be the one born 1890:

Florence Selina Lock is with Edward William Lock in 1939, birth year 1891.

So it doesn't look likely that the Florence Selina Eighteen who married Thomas Whittaker is the one born 1890.

Yeah, if she's on a census then it definitely isn't the right person, as both Florence Lena and Elsie May are with their mother in Reading on the 1911 census.

[kiterunner]

Yes, so what I'm saying is that I still think Florence Lena could be the Florence Selina who married Thomas Whittaker, as that one can't be the Florence Selina who was born 1890.

[James18]

True. Hopefully Merry can dig up some more info from the 1939 Register later.

Good detective work, Kate.

I had a five minute look at the 1939 Register before I went out. The Whittakers are not being helpful! No children that I could see to place them anywhere. No middle initial for Thomas on the marriage. No sign of them together on the 1930s erolls in Lancs etc etc.

Will have a better look now......

Merry, there is a Q4 1946 Nicol / Eighteen birth in Fylde. It seems quite out the way for the family in general, so I'm wondering if it might perhaps be a grandchild. It's very likely too late to be a child of Florence.

I won't post the names as they may well still be alive.

There's a marriage in Southend in Q1 1946!
